No Tushar Imran, No Talha Jubair for the first ODI. MD Ashrafull in No.3 batting spot, where bashara is doing so well!!!. I could only think of one word for our new selectors -"MORAN". I think maino & co was better than this one.:mad:

I am mad :mad: as hell.

One more thing, why do our news reporters report everything with too much color? "otironjito shangbadikota?"

bashar at 4 is actually a good thing, he is more comfortable there.

if i was forced to go with 2 pacers, I would have dropped tapash and kept talha, the latter is a breakthrough bowler. big mistake.

taking rafiq may also be a mistake. they could have dropped a pacer, kept both ashraful and durjoy, and still kept tushar as a specialist batsman. now we have 5 spinners - ash, morx, rafiq, alok and sanwar. there are only 50 overs to bowl.

seems like game one is a strategy experiment. good luck to the team.

I think the reason they dropped Talha is because he can be expensive. He will probably be more useful in the Test matches because he pitches it up and makes the batsmen play. As for having 5 spinners, thats ridiculous. We should have definitely had Tushar instead of one of them. Stupidity.

This is the team to play u guys tomorrow. Chanderpaul is injured, so Ganga comes in. It is not clear if he will play in the middle order or open. I think he bats too slow, so u guys should be happy that he is in the team!
